Kanye, Chvrches free, others discounted for limited time on Google Play

Google's Play Music Store is currently offering Kanye West's Yeezus and Chvrches' The Bones of What You Believe for free as part of its year-end music sale. The Play Store team named the two as their Album of the Year and Breakout Artist of the Year, respectively, and users can pick the two offerings up for free at the Google Play Store. Alongside those two works, Google is giving away a number of other editors' picks as their top tracks, including works from Anoushka Shankar, M.I.A., The Arcade Fire, and The Dillinger Escape Plan.
